Please make it a thread just for the sayings and no discussions with the thoughts of your submissions benefiting others as it does yourself.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others. ~Buddha There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures. ~James Thurber The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show. ~Author Unknown Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? ~Abraham Lincoln Though the circular round-and-round of routine be the bulk of life's affairs, make an occasional jutting diversion - of fun, love, or something that will outlast you - so the shape and motion of your life shall resemble the round lifegiving sun with bright rays shining forth from all directions. ~Destin Figuier We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood. ~William James What a strange narrowness of mind now is that, to think the things we have not known are better than the things we have known. ~Samuel Johnson When you start treating people like people, they become people. ~Paul Vitale Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got. ~Janis Joplin

God can never entrust His Kingdom to anyone who has not been broken of pride, for pride is the armor of darkness itself.
Francis Frangipane
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty... acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.
James I (J. I.) Packer
There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people, except Christians ever imagine that they are guilty themselves....The essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil; Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind... As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.
(Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis
God descends to the humble as waters flow down from the hills into the valleys.
Tikhon
Wisdom is, and starts with, the humility to accept the fact that you don't have all the right answers, and the courage to learn to ask the right questions.
Anonymous
Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there.
Anonymous
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
George Matthew Adams
Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Henry Ward Beecher
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God ... We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!
Abraham Lincoln
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundations.
Augustine
Pride makes us hate our equals because they are our equals; our inferiors from the fear that they may equal us; our superiors because they are above us.
Jean Vianney

Real words of wisdom.
We have enough votes to run the country. And when the people say, "We've had enough," we are going to take over.
-- Pat Robertson Good Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions.
-- Rev Jerry Falwell The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior.
-- Jerry Falwell Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them.
-- Jerry Falwell It's no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have... excuse me, but we have the truth!
-- Becky Fischer, Jesus Camp
